[Geezer on Rainier in 2021]

Hi All,

Lots of good traffic on this thread, thank you all... I kind of thought it was already too late in the season for this year, and I've had a lot of personal difficulties in the past few months, so I don't know if anything is feasible for me right now. But I'm certainly still interested in, I dunno, whatever...  Rainier is certainly still on my bucket list. I'm interested in like-minded people around my age (59) who are interested in the most simple, straightforward trip. Nothing fancy as I think even the easiest route will be enough of a challenge.

Okay, that sounds great, James. Keep me posted please!

I'm over 50 and still enjoy climbing.  I have been waiting for 4 years to do Liberty Ridge with IMG but every year it gets cancelled.  I've done various routes on Rainier and Baker etc...

Shoot me an email/message if you would like.  I'm on the waitlist for Fuhrer Finger (Love this climb with a detour up the Wilson Headwall) in June.  My son and I are planning a Kautz carryover in July so I'm up for something.

 

Who knows????

 

Cheers

Thanks James; I think I DM'ed you instead of replying, sorry about that. Plz let me know if you didn't get the message.

Hello.  I could consider a climb.  Not sure on timeline this year, but should figure it out soon.  Have been up Rainier 3 times, and slept on the summit crater twice.  Still dream of spending 2 nights up top, and exploring the ice caves and each prominence on the day between.  If not his year, maybe next.  Was 49 when summited Rainer the first time 50 the second, so am in the over 50 crowd for sure!

Hi Allan,

Thanks for the note, I sure appreciate it. I've never been on Rainier, but I've been dreaming about it for the past 10 years or so... I'm talking to a group who plan to climb in June, but give me a shout if you make plans for the DC or similarly 'easy' route, and maybe we should talk.

Looking for over-50 climber(s) to partner with for Rainier this coming season. I (59 yo male) can't be the old guy on a team of 30-somethings, so I'm looking for partner(s) who are closer to my age for better compatibility.

Thanks!
